Oregon Water Rebates

Medford, Oregon Water Rebates

The Jackson Soil and Water Conservation District reimburses up to $5,000 for stormwater projects across the Rogue Valley, including rain gardens, bioswales, and rainwater harvest systems. This is a reimbursement program, so you pay first and get repaid after the project is done and inspected. A required site visit determines eligibility, and your application has to be approved before you break ground. Deadlines fall quarterly.

Up to $5,000 per project

How to apply

  1. Confirm you are a Jackson County resident
  2. Contact JSWCD to schedule the required site visit
  3. Receive and submit the application packet for approval before you build
  4. Install the rain garden, bioswale, or rainwater harvest system using recommended natives
  5. Submit completion documentation by a quarterly deadline to be reimbursed up to $5,000

What you'll need

  • Proof of Jackson County residency
  • Site visit confirmation from JSWCD
  • Approved application packet
  • Planting plan using recommended native plant lists
  • Completion photos and itemized receipts

Pollinator Patch can help: It picks Rogue Valley natives suited to the Medford and Ashland area, designs an HOA-friendly rain garden or bioswale layout that fits the program criteria, and assembles your site-visit and plant-list packet.

Avoid these mistakes

  • Don't start the project before your site visit and application approval. Approval is required first.
  • Don't assume the full $5,000 is automatic. Amounts vary by project type and size, and rain gardens are reimbursed at a set per-square-foot rate.
  • Don't miss the quarterly deadline. Submissions are accepted on January 15, April 15, July 15, and October 15.
